The World Food Programme has started to build food storage facilities in the disputed area of Abyei between Sudan and South Sudan in preparation for the rainy season.
Dhieu Bol Deng, Director of Relief and Rehabilitation Commission in Abyei, told Radio Tamazuj that local citizens may lack food from May.
About 81,000 people are now benefiting from a relief assistance provided by the WFP in the area, he said.
